UNSTOPPABLE PERFORMANCE FOR HIGH DENSITY 1D/2D BARCODES
As a member of the Zebra Ultra-Rugged 3600 Series of scanners, the practically indestructible 1D/2D DS3608-HD corded and DS3678-HD cordless scanner is ready for one of the world’s toughest environments.


You get the truly unstoppable performance you need to prevent the high cost of unplanned production line downtime. Your workers get first-time every time capture of the many types of small and high-density barcodes.

Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology delivers first-time capture of high-density 1D and 2D barcodes printed on labels or directly on products—including tiny and dense 3 mil codes that are barely visible to the naked eye. The DS3600-HD also captures standard printed barcodes in virtually any condition—damaged, dirty, poorly printed or under shrink-wrap. 


Ultra-Rugged—the Most Indestructible Design in its Class

Zebra ultra-rugged scanners earned their name for a reason—you won’t find a tougher family of scanners. Ready for the world’s harshest environments, the DS3600-HD has the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. It can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. With dual IP65/IP68 sealing, the DS3600-HD is dust proof, can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water. Built to withstand extreme heat, cold and humidity, the DS3600-HD can be used anywhere—indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer.¹

Ultra-Rugged Cradle and Charging Contacts Designed to Last

The DS3600-HD is the first scanner in its class to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. Its industrial charging contacts withstand 250,000 insertions. And Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of

How the Zebra DS3600-HD Works with Your POS System:

The Zebra DS3600-HD barcode scanner integrates seamlessly with your POS (Point of Sale) system to improve efficiency during checkout, inventory management, and order processing. Here’s how it typically works:

1. Connecting the Scanner to the POS System:

  • Wired Connection (USB or Serial): For a wired connection, you simply plug the DS3600-HD into your POS system using the provided USB or Serial cable. Once connected, your POS system should automatically recognize the scanner, and it should be ready to scan barcodes right away.

  • Wireless Connection (Bluetooth): If you are using a Bluetooth model, you will need to pair the scanner with your POS system or a Bluetooth-enabled device. Once paired, the scanner will wirelessly transmit scanned data to your POS system. This is particularly useful in environments where mobility or the ability to scan at a distance is important (e.g., warehouses or retail floors).

2. Scanning Barcodes:

  • Quick Scanning: Once the scanner is connected to your POS system, it can be used to scan barcodes on products, shipping labels, or inventory tags. The scanner will read the barcode and send the data (product ID, price, etc.) to the POS system.

  • High-Density Barcodes: Since the DS3600-HD is optimized for high-density barcodes, it can scan small or densely packed barcodes that may be difficult for standard scanners to read. This is especially useful for items like electronics, small parts, or products with detailed barcodes.

3. POS Integration:

  • Inventory and Product Management: The DS3600-HD helps automate inventory management by allowing you to scan barcodes on products, automatically updating stock levels in the POS system.

  • Checkout Process: During the checkout process, the cashier can quickly scan the barcode on a product, and the POS system will automatically retrieve product details such as the price and description, speeding up the transaction.

  • Order Fulfillment and Shipping: In a warehouse or distribution center, the DS3600-HD can be used to scan items as they are picked and packed for orders. It can read barcodes on shipping labels, ensuring that the correct products are shipped to customers. It can also scan 2D barcodes (like QR codes or Data Matrix) for additional tracking or shipping information.

4. Barcode Types:

  • The DS3600-HD is capable of scanning various types of 1D and 2D barcodes, including:

    • 1D Barcodes (e.g., UPC, EAN, Code 39).

    • 2D Barcodes (e.g., QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417).

  • This makes it a versatile tool for scanning different formats of barcodes, which is important in environments where multiple types of barcodes are used (e.g., retail, logistics, and healthcare).

5. Use Case Examples:

  • Retail: In a retail store, the Zebra DS3600-HD can be used at the checkout counter to scan product barcodes quickly and accurately. It can also be used for inventory management to track stock levels by scanning items as they are received or sold.

  • Warehouse/Logistics: In a warehouse, the DS3600-HD can be used for order picking and shipping. The scanner can quickly read barcodes on products or shipping labels, ensuring that the right items are picked and shipped.

  • Healthcare: The DS3600-HD can be used in healthcare settings to scan medication barcodes or patient wristbands for accurate tracking and identification.

Benefits of Using the Zebra DS3600-HD with Your POS System:

  1. Enhanced Efficiency: The scanner’s high-density scanning capability allows for quick and accurate barcode reading, even for small or complex barcodes, which speeds up both checkout and inventory processes.

  2. Durability: With its rugged, IP67-rated design, the DS3600-HD can handle tough environments, making it ideal for retail and warehouse use, where it may be dropped or exposed to dust and moisture.

  3. Omni-Directional Scanning: The scanner can read barcodes from any angle, making it easier and faster for employees to scan products, reducing the chances of scanning errors and improving workflow efficiency.

  4. Wireless Flexibility: The Bluetooth model offers wireless freedom, which is especially useful in larger retail spaces or warehouses, where staff can move around without being tethered to a counter or workstation.

  5. High-Speed Scanning: The DS3600-HD offers fast scanning, reducing wait times for customers and improving throughput in high-volume environments.

  6. Multi-Barcode Support: The scanner can handle both 1D and 2D barcodes, which means it can be used in a variety of scenarios and with various types of barcode labels, ensuring compatibility with most modern POS and inventory systems.

Conclusion:

The Zebra DS3600-HD Rugged Image Barcode Scanner is a powerful, reliable tool for reading high-density barcodes in demanding environments.
